Get a gimbal for your GoPro

Everyone, it seems, is obsessed with GoPro. We see these ubiquitous cameras on bikes, motor cycles, car dashboards and apparently even on head mounts in hospital delivery rooms!

However, if you want to use your RC multi rotor and GoPro for aerial photography, you are going to need a gimbal! It’s a pivoted support that allows the rotation of an object about a single axis. A set of three gimbals are used to enable an object mounted on the innermost gimbal to remain independent of the rotation of its support. On ships they ensure that the gyroscopes and compasses remain upright with respect to the horizon despite the pitching and rolling.

Brushless Gimbal Motors

Good gimbals are expensive and cheap ones can be ineffective. Thankfully, a new approach to building gimbals has delivered brushless gimbal motors – a high-performing and cost-effective gimbal solution.

Hobby Tech supplies several brushless gimbal motors such as the Tarot 2-Axis Brushless Gimbal For GoPro Hero3, which is widely used in film, television productions, advertising and aerial photography. Easy to install, the Tarot gimbal’s framework is designed to be compact, lightweight, highly stable and achieve high precision. The Tarot uses 6061T6 aluminum alloy full CNC precision machining and brushless motor driving. Even if the aircraft is in high-speed flight, it can still stabilise and control the camera precisely, so the images or video output is of the highest quality.

FPV (first person view) enthusiasts highly recommend the Tarot gimbal. Its performance is comparable to similar products from a certain famous brand, yet Hobby Tech is selling the Tarot for just one quarter of the price.
